LOCHIEL'S RETURN. Irish, Reel (cut time). A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Lochiel's Return" is contained in the music manuscript collection of curate and fiddler biography:Rev. Luke Donnellan (1878-1952), Oriel region, south Ulster^[1]. Donnellan's reel seems based on the Scottish "Lochiel's Rant," clearly cognate in the first strain. The second strains of the tunes are more dissimilar, yet retain relatedness to one another. Brendan Breathnach collected the title as "Lough Aisles Return."

↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by an unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
